Are there currently any markets for BRRRR properties < $100,000?
Let's say you're looking for the following:
Purchase price = $75,000
Rehab cost = $25,000
ARV = $150,000
In what market is this kind of a deal likely to happen today?

@Sam Bhattacharya I agree with @Matthew Crivelli, you can find many houses for under $100k in decent neighborhoods in Toledo, especially ones that need work. Here's the thing though: everybody wants a BRRRR. But how are you going to Rehab it out of state? Try to find a contractor that won't gouge you the second they learn you're not local, or let a PM do it for a markup? Also, to get that kind of "Perfect" BRRRR is really difficult to do. There are investors in every market that have their mail/cold call teams working to find these perfect deals off-market, and many of them are local. Realtors typically won't help with that, because it's simply not what they do.
Now, since rates have gone up and the market is skidding to a major slowdown, the opportunity is getting better, even on the MLS as people who have to sell don't have 14 offers coming at them for anything that has 4 walls and a roof. If you don't want to do a mail/cold call campaign, you can find houses on the MLS that you can buy for $70k, put the $10-15k into it, and it will be worth $80-90k pretty easily, so you can get some of your money back. But to find the Home Run in your example on the MLS is really difficult. The biggest thing though is to get going doing something. If you can get into a nice, fixed up rental property and have minimal money in the project in the end, that's still a win. It all depends on how you want to proceed. Let me know if you have any other questions about Toledo, and best of luck to you!
